63. What a great idea for kindergarten when their little brains are like sponges!
My grandson's Italian accent is like his teacher's: near native!

Research has shown that kids exposed to other languages have an advantage in brain development because of it. We Americans are idiots in not having at least two languages for our kids like so many Europeans. It's crazy.

I don't know about being a "chaperone on a honeymoon." I know you are kidding but I don't blame you. I'd love to have a whole family entourage go to Tuscany, rent a villa and have a couple of rental cars to toot around in all over the region and into Umbria (I loved Umbria when I went there in 06). The food is so wonderful and the art in so many towns in Tuscany is exceptional that it would be a shame NOT to go! I'll keep DU apprised of any developments on that front!
